You know, for early adoptirs i think apple coukd charge for those who woukd like the face a type of in-app purchase. And could sell the bands separately. And just price them in a manner so that for example a person who got an apple watch steel would pay the difference between the two devices. This price would also have to consider bands. None the less ive already got my hermes band look alike in the mail.

If Apple did that, then the Hermès watch would not be an exclusive. That would defeat the whole purpose of an Hermès watch.

Agreed, it wouldnt be exclusive. But it would help with the sour taste its left with early adoptor. Just looking at some of yesterdays post, early adopter apple watch owners where not happy with the exclusive product. But you are right… It wouldnt be an exclusive product at that point.

“The watch comes in a bright orange packaging very similar to that of the Stainless Steel Apple Watch, with some extra Hermès branding added to justify the price tag.”

No, the Hermès name itself is what justifies the price tag. The branding on the box is just to let one know that’s what one is supposed to be getting.
